Ecological Relationships & Symbiosis

UNDERSTANDING LIMITING FACTORS OF A POPULATION IN AN ECOSYSTEM AND THE THREE TYPES OF SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS

16. Identify density-dependent and density-independent limiting factors that affect populations in an Ecosystem
Examples: Density-dependent—disease, predator-prey relationships, availability of food and water
Density-independent—natural disasters, climate, innate behaviors (migration), human impact
